FILMS
MYSTERY TRIPS - This is a film I wrote, shot, and edited about the way my grandfather taught me about life by taking me around the city of Seattle, and what I have learned since he left.
A short film created from footage accumulated over three years in parks all over Western Washington.
Prompt: “Having kids has brought us to the wild places of this city on weekends and times we just need to get out of the house. But often I wonder what the park would say to us?”
Shot, edited, and written by Tyler Hanson

Mobility Roadside Assistance
Writer, Designer, Editor
- This video displays an important skill set that I strive for, the ability to read into the client, understand the audience, and communicate a difficult product.
- Client had a very vague direction for where to go to explain a product in a way that doesn’t patronize a population of mobility challenged people who already feel disadvantaged and forgotten.
- I determined the art direction and designed or adapted icons, figures, and typography
- I edited this promo entirely in After Effects displaying my knowledge and skill set to work in multiple platforms and understand all aspects of video production.
